He says:

"I fully support Debian's decision to use systemd as the default init
for new installs, because it makes sense to use the default that is good
for the vast majority of users."

Throughout the text, his prose is thoughtful and seemingly unbiased. So
I thought that maybe there was some such discussion among Debian leadership.

I had read in other places what you summarized. I don't like to blame
people even in my mind. Now I feel comfortable knowing that I am not
just looking at the situation with colored glasses. So thank you for
confirming all that.

Cheers,

Simon
